For $3 per month, Brave Search Premium users can continue to enjoy a completely ad-free Search experience, and directly support Brave’s mission to make the Web a more private place with independent search. Search Premiumįor users that don’t want to see ads, Brave is also offering an ad-free experience: Search Premium. Brave Search only uses your search query, country, and device type to show you ads, and does not keep any kind of profile of your searches. Clicking on Brave Search ads is a fully private experience (unlike the ads on search engines like Google and Bing). Privacy-first adsīy design, Brave Search ads are anonymous, clearly marked, and follow Brave’s commitment to putting users first, and to ethical and transparent advertising practices. Search ads allow Brave to maintain independence as it grows, and do so without giving in to Big Tech’s privacy invasions. They give users a chance to learn about new products and-soon-earn rewards for their attention to those ads.īrave Search is built on a truly independent index of the Web (one of only a handful of search engines that can make that claim), and recently passed 20 million queries per day, growing faster than any search engine since Bing. Brave Search ads are fundamentally different: They provide the same utility minus all the tracking and privacy invasions found in other search ads. Despite their usefulness, most search ads track users and violate their privacy. However, Brave Search ads protect users’ data and anonymity, while supporting their access to independent and transparent search as a true alternative to Big Tech search engines.Īds are a key part of search engines, helping to facilitate the free and open exchange of information on the Web, and to connect users to helpful products and services related to their search terms. As with other search engines, Brave Search ads are clearly labeled and are integrated into the search results page. Ads will give users the option to use our independent search engine with ads that don’t track them, or to sign up for ad-free paid search.

Starting today, Brave Search will feature privacy-preserving ads as part of a global beta program.
